Scotch Whisky | 56% ABV

Commercial Description:

Double barrel masterpiece from the Sound of Islay.

For their twenty-fourth barrel-hunting expedition, the trio of purveyors of fine Spirits sailed to Islay. Deer, Bear, and Moose visited Caol Ila and sniffed around their warehouse. They said you could taste history in the air before they jumped on barrels #150 and #151.

The delicious elixir within was conjured in May 2011, before it spent six years in a hogshead and another four years in first-fill ex-Bourbon barrels. The dance of sweetness, saltiness, and smoke blending into a classic Caol Ila character convinced the seasoned palates of our beasts, and they decided to bottle both barrels as the latest DBM expression.

DBM #24 is exceptional in its own right, but there’s an extra angle that makes it even more: it’s charitable. Part of the proceeds will be donated to the Movember movement that funds medical research and life-saving programs. Which means DBM #24 is Good in more than one sense.
